Mankind’s old dream of flying… not sure though if this is the optimal solution. I think there’s at least room for some doubts. At the beginning of this week I took a dive into the most dusty corners of my sketches scan folder. Most of what I saw there caused me more or less severe pain in the eyes. Nonetheless, I found a few pieces that, despite their sometimes really impressive age, looked promising enough. One of them I used immediately to make the image below. According to the file date this sketch is almost ten years old. On the technical side there isn’t much to say, no experiments, nothing too exciting: no gradients, an 8-color-palette (obviously I got additional colors via transparency), some motion blur on the background. A couple of years ago I had already begun working on this pic. However, I didn’t get past the line-work stage. This time I skipped the lines.
